The Dollar, the Euro and the Yen are losing value, more people understand that they need a global currency that they can trust, maybe Gold or Bitcoin?
Hahahahaha Dude. What was the price of Bitcoin January 1st, and what is it today? Are you blind? About 800$ on January 1st and 340$ now, nothing to worry about! It was about 14$ on January 1st 2013. Oil was as high as 107$ a barrel (for wti) this year and is now 55$, oil is not doomed Supply/Demand... The only real reason why these two numbers are correlating is because there is less money generally flowing into speculative investments as the fed has stopped pouring massive amounts of money into the economy via QE. The prices of bitcoin and oil are not related over the long term We have to wait to see if they are correlated or not. Oil and Bitcoin are two scare commodities.

There is no reason for them to be correlated. They are used for two very different purposes. You cannot use bitcoin to directly power your car/train/plane just like you cannot use oil to send money around the world or to pay for things

Just because two assets have similar supply characteristics does not mean that their price is going to be correlated. The demand dynamics for both bitcoin and oil are very different as their uses are very different. It is also much easier to manipulate the supply (and price) of oil via cartels then it is for bitcoin

The supply of Bitcoin is much more clear than for oil but as for the manipulation of the price both can be manipulated.

Has anybody in this thread ever looked at or even heard of the dollar index? https://www.tradingview.com/e/?symbol=DOLLAR+INDEXIt's strong as hell right now. The simple fact is, not gold, not BTC, but USD is the world's safe haven store of wealth. You can see this by bond prices skyrocketing (yields falling). Commodities are generally correlated. That's why BTC and oil are sharing a bit of correlation. Ultimately, commodity prices are set by the world economy. There's European and Asian fear in the markets now, hence prices fall as demand wanes.

As a store of wealth, they stink on ice. Guaranteed rocket sled to zero value. Little temporary rises relative to other worthless paper are irrelevant to that inescapable, horrible fact: You have been enslaved in exchange for...nothing.

USD Interest rate has been maintained too low for a long time and it looks like there is a pressure within to hike the rates or else overall it is will be bad in long term.

USD interest rate is low right now because Asian and European investors don't want to invest in those markets. Japan's economy is tanking fast and Greece is starting to spread contagion fears throughout Europe. Money is flooding into US bonds. As bonds get purchased, their prices rise. When their prices rise, yields decrease, due to the fixed coupon payments. As a result, US interest rates are flat, just because of the rush of foreign capital.

You realize the difference between the bond market that has been fixed by the FED and its policies and the official interest rate. You should not comment on subjects you know nothing about, you are embarrassing yourself.
